President Trump now knows that the price of reopening the country will be tens of thousands more lives -- and it's one he now appears ready to pay | Analysis by stcollinson

It's one he now appears ready to pay, if not explain to the American people, at a moment of national trial that his administration has constantly underplayed.Depressing new death toll projections and infection data on Monday dashed the optimism stirred by more than half the country taking various steps to reopen an economy that is vital to Trump's reelection hopes and has shed more than 30 million jobs.

Trump, however, prefers, as always, to dwell in the universe that is most conducive to his political hopes. He stepped up attacks on China for covering up a crisis he predicted would never be a problem for the US despite available evidence. He effectively accused the intelligence agencies and his own subordinates of not briefing him on the virus until late January. Even if that is true -- and well sourced reports suggest it is not -- there was ample news coverage about a possible new pandemic.

StCollinson Y'all are fake news, controlled by the democratic machine.

StCollinson

StCollinson Vote out the bastard!

StCollinson Trump is

StCollinson Unacceptable!

StCollinson The only leader that can ensure the elimination of death is God but I have a feeling most Democrats wouldn’t vote for him.

StCollinson Even if they are Republican lives?

StCollinson And that is absolutely not ok! Knowingly letting people die sounds like a killer to me! When is someone going to stop Trump! We can’t wait until November we need action now!

StCollinson Many more Americans favor reopening than not, so he isn't alone.

StCollinson People are going to die no matter what. We might as well open up the economy so that it doesn't collapse and people lose access to food, water, and electricity. Way more people will die if that happens.

StCollinson He hasknewn all along, he has accepted people lives lost as 'Collateral Damage: of his re-election.

StCollinson he figured out who was dying...

StCollinson

StCollinson What price - what cost - does the president put on your life, the lives of your babies, the lives of your parents and the lives of your loved ones? Who gave him that kind of power?

StCollinson Are y’all dumb? This is a virus that can’t be stopped. People will get it. Actually. We all are going to get the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab. It’s inevitable. Stop the SPIN CCP

StCollinson According to models which seem to change weekly cause they weren’t right

StCollinson I thought we were trying to not overwhelm the hospitals. Now the hospitals can handle it. 🤔So why would we not get back to work.

StCollinson You got to give in order to get. So to make a buck you got to sacrifice a few more lives. What a smart President we have. He is an intelligent idoit.

StCollinson Maybe we all get lucky and he gets the rona.

StCollinson we have to get a mob immunity....we can't stay in our homes forever....the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions need to be extra careful...we now know this virus is not deadly to most

StCollinson

StCollinson ThePresidentMustResign Pass it on!

StCollinson Correction; Governors are reopening the country, Trump is getting out of the way, ie- not being a dictator.

StCollinson Do some people think that any government or administration (including Trumps) can prevent death? That we're immortal if our government sets policies and takes action perfectly? A nation needs to function and 'be open' if we are to sustain our viability. Risks are inherrent.

StCollinson Where are those stayhome workers productions, how many are still actually doing work at home while they are collecting unemployment benefits, getting stimulus money, and may have SBA money going to them also from the PPP funds. How about doing an episode on that?

StCollinson He doesn’t care about people dying. We are expendable.

StCollinson FYI the covid 19 is not going away. How is that Trumps Fault? Be a good journalist and find out how the thing exists and how we overcome it. You fixate on Trump too much what’s your problem? Is he the only reason you make $$$$?

StCollinson Even if we wait another year or two before we re open, someone will die of COVID -19.

StCollinson human life worth $7m, US GDP $21t. napkin math says you can lose over 8, 000 people/day and still be profitable.

StCollinson He is?

StCollinson Have you noticed that after it was reported that 70% of Americans dying of COVID19 are non-whites: 1) Trumpers started rallying to re-open businesses; and 2) realDonaldTrump starts saying we have to reopen the economy even if more people will die in the process Makes you wonder

StCollinson Keeping it closed does the same thing! But you won’t say that🙄

StCollinson Chinese News Network doesn't want America to get her economy up and running again.

StCollinson And the price of not reopening the country will be?

StCollinson realDonaldTrump but he won't stand in front of America to backup or support anymore. The stakes are high so Trump hides.

StCollinson He DOES NOT CARE !

StCollinson Is it legal murdering?

StCollinson

StCollinson Sounds like he found out 80% of deaths are non-white and thought ....” I can kill two birds with one racist stone”

StCollinson What’s the price of keeping the economy closed? CNNs hatred for the President blinds them from seeing the other side of the situation. OrangeManBad

StCollinson dumpsterfire

StCollinson Once he realised it was the other kind of poor not his kind of poor who were dying.... yeah fux it disband the task force.

StCollinson When the economy is his only hope he will take that chance because he doesn't care. But he will get elected again because these racist white people and ignorant people of color that have fallen for his charade are gonna come out in droves while everyone else sit at home.

StCollinson Price of power-for power of a Caesar & his family's.USA people are dying sufferings is a disgrace on USA leader-his admin,& his family's-disgraced-forevermore in USA history.What is the-price-of power to be Caesar over people.-People supersede the Caesar's-.

StCollinson He's always been happy to play with peoples lives

StCollinson Do you guys chuckle to yourselves as you write your blatant lies? chinesenewsnetwork

StCollinson How about sending your family members out there first? Nope didn’t think he would 😡

StCollinson He is now literally telling citizens I will kill you to stay in power.

StCollinson Told you when he was running that he was a gambler and we were all just his chips. Everyone should have seen this coming. Also said he was really bad at it and always doubles down.

StCollinson He is right and I think he will make Amrican great again.

StCollinson The ‚pro life‘ party is putting a price on someone’s life then. Was always the case they only cared about being ‚pro life‘ when all they needed to do was judge others. When it comes to having to make personal sacrifices to protect others, suddenly it’s not so important.

StCollinson A d we’ll keep reminding him every single day as the numbers skyrocket!

StCollinson 'He now appears ready to pay'? Really CNN? How about some solid journalism for once! You know it's the right-wing lobby who pushes for the re-opening of the country, Trump will blame the governors! How about a story about how Trump mobilizes armed right-wingers?

StCollinson All those nights in bed with Kim Jong and now our leader murderous dictator too -how can the people of this country allow this man to make such a costly mistake -fear and violence are already out of control w no consequences-when he loses 1 of his own will lives suddenly matter?

StCollinson Cuz CNN is part of the DNC DEATH CULT PROPAGANDA MACHINE & anything BAD that happens in this country is NOT because individual citizens make choices. IT IS TRUMPDERANGEMENTSYNDROME 24/7

StCollinson He is a businessman..hardly bothered with people dying

StCollinson I am trying to figure out which parent I am gonna trade their life for a great economy? What are you willing to trade for your economy?

StCollinson The price of not reopening could prove to be just as devastating. COVID19 is not the only danger that’s present during these times. Suicide rates are up, domestic violence is up, poverty is sky rocketing. These issues are just as devastating.

StCollinson FAKE NEWS !

StCollinson

StCollinson It’s only obvious that he Cares about the money more than the people.

StCollinson Should think about it, very seriously. Please do it.

StCollinson Let him be the first to 'pay' followed by each of his GOP & business cronies.

StCollinson There's people starving and losing everything they have. He doesn't have a choice.

StCollinson

StCollinson

StCollinson The President of the United States is not easy, looking at trump is a headache for him!

StCollinson What is the cost of legalized drinking? Or the cost of driving over 35mph, ever? What is the cost CO2 from a backyard barbecue contributing to global warming and killing the planet? What is the cost in lives of allowing people to live?

StCollinson Pure hogwash... Speculation is all you have. Grow up CNN.

StCollinson Maybe if Trump had to pay out to each family that suffered a loss to the virus, I bet it suddenly wouldn’t be a price he’d be willing pay then.

StCollinson Every country is starting to re-open the economy - yet we can’t in the US

StCollinson Always using others as collateral.

StCollinson Do he really cares? NO!!!
